Christmas brings many changes to usual routines, and this can create stress for autistic people.
These change cards can be used to show when school is closing, or the blank templates can be used for other changes. Simply place the ‘No’ symbol over the activity on the schedule to clarify it is cancelled, and place the new activity beside it. This prepares the child or young person for change and makes it visually clear. Where possible, try to make the replacement activity something enjoyable so that the change is a positive experience.
